I Am

I am

I'm the banter of the prophets
I'm the vapor in the wind
I'm the last nail in the coffin
Within the tomb of honest men
I'm the echo of the tyrants
Who refused to spare the rod
I am the bitterness of jaded men
Who've lost all faith in God
I'm the raging idealistic war
The fall of iron fists
I'm the empty strength of martyrs
Souls engulfed in endless mist
I'm the whisper of the forest
I'm the slither of the snake
And when the bomb has finally dropped
I am the silence in its wake
I'm the screaming of the infant
I'm the thunder from above
And when your thoughts escape your words
I am eternal silenced love
